 Hey, Bolo Buddies. Thanks for watching. Okay, so I recently did a video on my YouTube channel sourcing with Bolo Buddies It's a Bolo category video on squishmallows now What I found is on eBay it is very very hard to know if somebody actually paid for the item and there's a lot of Where the bidding is like they have zero feedback and then There's also like you can check the feedback like I show you in the video But a lot of people don't leave feedback So I was trying to think of another option for looking for the ones that go for big money now another item that this happens with is Disney VHS and TY tie I think they're called TY the plush they get bid up and I don't know people call they think it's like a money laundering or something like that and I I don't know I think in most cases I have no idea what it is to be honest with you But it does make it hard for resellers to comp things So I had this idea and I'm gonna do it with you guys I don't know if it's gonna work, but we're gonna comp some stuff on Mercari where if somebody buys it they're automatically billed for it. So we don't have to question Oh, did they pay? Yes, they paid because they have to pay on Mercari, which I Wish eBay would do this. I mean how awesome would it be if payment was automatic on eBay? I know that I would love that and I Mean even Like they have the buy it now where you can just pay ask them to pay immediately But if you have best offer you don't have that option But why not because I take offers on Mercari all the time and I get immediate payment same with Poshmark immediate payment. So I Wish eBay would change that. What do you guys think? Let me know in the comments. Okay, so let's go to let's start with the TY the plush Let me get my screen share up And we're gonna go I've already got it pulled up and what I did is I put in TY plush And I sorted by sold items and over here highest priced first so These beanie booze Definitely can be a bolo. They're the ones with the sparkly big eyes I Have one listed that's pretty big right now and it's not moving So I'm gonna guess it's kind of like anything else some or more sought after than others Yeah, like this one went for a hundred and eleven this one went for a hundred and ten This is twigs the rare beanie baby went for 95. I mean I It's hard to tell on eBay. So this is at least telling me which ones could be valuable like this What is it pink patty went for $58? I mean that's just amazing to me. I have no idea why this boot is in here Yeah, so you can see this guy right here went for 54 its frost So it looks like frost is a bolo He's a beanie boo and he sold for a hundred and ten with tags here This one looks like it's a more pre-owned and it went for 54 This one says tag air I mean, that's another thing you guys if you collect these or know anything about these beanie babies are they Really that much more valuable if there's an air on the tag. Let me know if you know in the comments. Oh My goodness. Look at these. These are beanie monsters Mon stars is what they say those are cute So, yeah, this just gives you an idea of some of the ones that are more sought-after again It's the beanie booze. I've sold beanie booze. I do pick them up at garage sales if I see them for a decent price I do not pick up the other ones. That is just my personal preference Oh My goodness look at this one. It's a little bear and it says ty but it's got it's a not bear It's a pig. Oh my goodness. It's a pig with the babies So it looks like the this is a mama with her babies. This is a mermaid. So that's you know, Disney related So I would I would pick something up like that anything that is like a beanie baby character Like I think I have one that is from a pet's life. I'm gonna list that one It'll probably be bread and butter, but I'm I'm willing to list that one But you can see I mean, they're not going for Big money like this is Easter. So that makes sense, you know, kind of probably a hot item right now and Some of the characters I think that just people collect and they want them for that reason and Mercari is by it now our best offer. So There's no bidding on these But again, like hello kitty went for $25. These are the max and ruby ty again from a cartoon Ninja Turtles cartoon So I think this is the one I have only it's a big one So maybe she's just not as popular Bananas and pajamas. I didn't know those were made by ty but Scooby-Doo. I Don't know if he's a ty or if they've just got ty in the description. But yeah Alvin in the chipmunks. I have sold the chipmunks. I think mine were beanie babies. So yeah, they're you guys They're hit and miss you're not gonna make tons of money on them unless you find a really special one and you can see Kind of what those are. So this is a ty Paul patrol Sky and she's a big one that sold for 20. So All right, let's look at the Disney VHS the black diamonds I did not pull up black diamond, but I did put in Disney VHS. So Now this is the Simpsons so I'm not really thinking of the Simpsons I'm more thinking of like the Disney princess movies So here's one that sold for 35 you can see guys There's nothing above $220 that is Disney VHS that sold on McCurry So that is a good indicator that anytime you see something like even if it's a black diamond or whatnot on eBay It's probably just not true Let's go over here. Let me show you I'm under sold oh Hmm, how do I get out of sold? I don't know how oh here Okay, so I'm out of sold And I'm under highest first so you can see that there's people asking crazy prices So definitely do not search active listings to comp out what your item is worth Okay, because there's always people that are gonna list things for $2,000 that are worth $5. Okay Yeah, it's just this is crazy this is nonsense you saw the solds I Mean I just I it's unbelievable to me really that But nothing's selling, you know, none of these items are selling. I don't even know why people waste their time with this Let me know in the comments what you guys think because I mean $1,000 and this is why people think that these are worth that kind of money because I Go to a garage sale and they're like oh, that's worth a lot of money I'm like are you looking at solds? Are you looking at active listings? They're like oh this active listing. I'm like you can't look at that That doesn't mean anything Anybody can ask anything for any item. Oh, we're down to seven hundred dollars now It's just crazy Here's the Lion King. It doesn't even have a slipcover for six hundred and eight dollars. Oh, that's a bargain All right, let's get to what is trending right now these squish mallows And you know what actually before we do that I Want to look up Boyd's Bears because I sell a lot of Boyd's Bears and Most of them are bread and butter Okay, so we're gonna go over here to the side and I'm looking for sold and I'm gonna search highest first because I have a video coming out soon on my Bolo buddies channel For some items that are trending and I'm wondering if they're trending over here Or if this is a place where I may be able to snag them cheap and they are not trending over here So it is an eBay thing. I May go in and see If there are any listed Okay, so they are not trending over here. So look for that video. It's gonna be on Boyd's Bears on my Bolo buddies my main channel, which I am almost to 9,000 subscribers. So please subscribe if you're not already So a big milestone. I'm really excited to get to 10,000 So sub that channel up and there's a link down in the description. Okay, so the squish mallows Here are the solds. Here are your big money Squish mallows Again, I did a video on this channel doing eBay comps and I showed you guys how to dig a little deeper and Look up comps, but it's really hard to tell like which ones are trending So this is awesome and I'm so glad I thought to do this and share this with you guys because We know that these sold because on Mercari payment is automatic. Look at this Okay, Jack the cat now that was one in my eBay video that I was pretty certain sold But they're selling for more. I think on Mercari There was a cow that this was another one but I think it sold and that you guys will have to go watch the video the eBay squish mallow eBay on this channel and Look for this one Because I think it went for like 200 and something and it went for 450 over here 360 for the mushroom and now it says reserved. So I'm not sure Maybe there's another one another picture. So we won't look at that one. Yeah, I mean, they're definitely going for Really good money on Mercari. So if you guys have these I would highly suggest that you put them over here This one this cow was one that was doing well on eBay But I don't think any of them went for 299 that I saw now eBay only goes back 90 days So that makes a difference also I think there was one of the stingrays that I saw on eBay. That was one that I'd mentioned but It didn't go for 290. I don't I think it was less same with this guy There were several and I if I remember correctly, they went for around 219 So this one went for more on Mercari But as we scroll down, you know, this one only went for 230 only but you're gonna see some different Different pricing scales, you know some that went for less. I'm I searched highest So as we scroll down, we're gonna see prices that get Lower like this one's 195 for that same cow It seems like the cows are really trending right now. People are really wanting the cows I don't know I mean, they do feel really squishy and really cool And if you go watch my other video, I tell you why They are trending. So, uh, go check that out Just search squish mallow on my channel And yeah So they are a hot hot item right now And definitely stay tuned for that boys Boyd's bear video It's unbelievable Unbelievable. Oh, look at this one. I haven't seen that one a little seal Super cute. So if you guys collect squish mallows, let us know in the comments like Why you love them or Which one you're looking for and I don't know I just think it's kind of fun to to learn the burger and fries. That's cool. It went for 150 So, yeah, this is a great way to search for comps comparables and it's also I think it's more accurate I mean, there's no returns. So, you know, it didn't get returned Unless of course somebody was like dishonest with their description or something like that Now, let's do this. Just so you guys know So I showed you that really T or the TY's and the the beanie babies and The VHS are really It's just not true. But the squish mallows, there are some that are big money, but we are going to sort Lowest first Okay, so these are the smaller ones. Um, And they're going for like five bucks guys Um, but these are really tiny And it looks like the buyer's paying shipping on most of these Let's keep scrolling here. I'm gonna It got stuck It's not keeping up. Okay. So I don't know why well that says reserved, but this says five dollars Isn't that frog supposed to be like special? Um, I just had somebody uh say that their son Sold the frog for a hundred dollars on mercury I don't know if it was new with tags or pre-owned, but um, they left me a comment on one of my videos It might have been the squish mallow video actually But sold a frog for a hundred dollars. I'm guessing it's the green frog I think there was a tiktok video on that somebody said but don't quote me on that Um, but yeah, all of these lower priced ones are the smaller ones and I can't filter by Like items that sold in the middle So, yeah, I let's see. Let's do this. Um Let me get back up here squish mallow squish mallow plush frog Okay, so look at all these frogs. Um, let's go to Let's go to solds I'm just curious about the frog because that's the one I feel like I keep hearing about and they Maybe they're different because that one had like a yellow body. See how some are yellow and some are white Wonder if that makes a difference Let's see. Let's look at solds highest first Okay No results found Uh, okay That's weird Huh, did it just delete? Yeah, it took me out of solds Did you guys see that that was weird These all say sold Highest first No results found Okay, I guess we'll just have to scroll. I don't know why it's doing that best match So 50 60 70 70 is the highest I've seen but they said he sold it for 100. So I probably just haven't got to it yet 75 94 Dollars that's good So I would say the frog it looks like ranges between 40 and What a hundred Depending on the size and the colors Yeah, I'd say that's pretty accurate. I wish I could sort by um Highest first. That's really odd All right, you guys so let me know are you um Are you searching mercury for comps? Kind of a good idea, right? I think so um At least for things like that that it's questionable on ebay So I'm going to start to utilize that more. I think even posh mark might be a good place to go because um Again immediate payment required. So and you can sell toys on posh mark now So if you guys are not selling on posh mark, um, you can do hard goods toys. Um I was like home But I mean, of course you can still do clothes but uh, all Most all of my posh mark what sold videos that I share on my main bolo buddies channel Are hard goods. I don't share the clothing I just share the hard goods and the toys and the stuff that i'm selling on posh mark So if you want to know more about posh mark and maybe potentially some items other than clothes that you can sell on that platform go over to my main bolo buddies just bolo buddies channel and um type in posh mark in the search bar and it'll pull up all of my what sold videos and you guys can check that out It's um, definitely a great platform for hard goods and I also sell on mercari. So I do have um Videos and most of those I really only share the hard goods also. So that's more what um I'm teaching is hard goods more than clothes I'm trying to get out of clothes and I'm trying to learn about hard goods So to me it makes the most sense for me to try to educate myself On things that i'm trying to learn as I teach you guys and we learn together I have a lot of bolo category videos So those are where I pick a category like I did one on this channel for pyrex So I research pyrex and I let you guys know things to look for Um on my other bolo buddies channel like I've got tons. I've got halloween. I've got christmas I've got in the kitchen. I've got bathroom bolos Um Tons tons of different category videos over there. So definitely made in japan new old stock Um, I think expired lots of them. So go over there and check those out And again, I'm almost to a thousand subscribers I may be there by the time I show this video But if not or even if I am be sure to subscribe hit that thumbs up Share it if you like the video and as always Thanks for watching
